I’m certain this season’s Gopher starters were enjoying elementary school the last time Minnesota dropped a game in Madison. That loss was on January 9, 2011. The game, a 47-42 Badger victory, has fortunately been rinsed from my memory by a Gopher winning streak.
Minnesota has won 10 straight games at the Kohl center and are currently 18-1 in their last 19 against the Red Scourge at any venue. Now, following the Ohio State loss, we’ve reached the stage of the season where Minnesota 1-3 needs another feel good visit to the Badger den.
Some of Wisconsin’s (0-4) names are familiar: Brook Schramek, Julie Popisilova, Sydney Hilliard (returned from a leave of absence) and Halle Douglas (out for the season); but the three leading scorers in B1G games are 5’10 freshman guard Maty Wilke, 6’4” freshman forward Serah Williams and 5’6” Grad guard Avery LaBarbara. Wilke missed the 52-94 loss to Nebraska with a knee injury while Williams scored 18 and LaBarbara scored 17. LaBarbara, a transfer from Holly Cross, was last season’s Patriot League player of the year. Nevertheless, the Badgers are still looking for a spark in Marisa Moseley’s second season and should again prove accommodating hosts.
In comparative Big Ten scores. The Badgers lost to Iowa 74-102 and Minnesota fell to the Hawkeyes 64-87.
